Thanksgiving Fun

For our Thanksgiving we headed down to Huntington, Utah to spend it with Kevin's moms family.

Hayden was really excited to go because we told him there are pigs and horses down there. So we loaded the car and headed down Wednesday night. By the time we got down there it was too dark to see the animals. Hayden had slept the whole way down and was ready to go when we got out of the car.
We visited Kevin's grandparents for a few. Then headed to the hotel and crashed.

Thursday we went over in the morning to see the animals. Hayden was so excited. There were baby pigs, which he loved and thought they were so cute.

We had Thanksgiving dinner for lunch. After lunch the guys headed out to paintball and the rest of us stayed and made some really cute cards. We had leftovers for dinner. Hung out for a while and then went to the hotel to bed.


Friday we went over to Grandmas for breakfast. After breakfast we did a service project for grandma and grandpa. Hayden helped clean windows outside and rake up leaves. Then we went to setup the church and get cookin' the food. Hayden had a blast running around and playing with all of the kids that were there. After we ate, we shared christmas stories. Then the special guest arrived! It was santa, (well Joel dressed as santa). Hayden and all the kids were excited.

They each were called up to receive a gift bag from santa. When it came to hayden's turn he was done. Kevin carried him up screaming. He sat on santas lap for all of 10 seconds before he was done and came running over to me. I was laughing so hard I was crying. Hayden was the only one that was scared of him.

After he settled down a little he was able to enjoy his gift bag. They had a pinata which Hayden didn't want to do, though we made him. After that we said our goodbyes and headed to the car. Kevin had to work in the morning so we had to head home.

But before we left we had to say goodbye to the animals. Kevin tried to get Hayden to sit on a pig, but Hayden was having none of that. We said goodbye to the baby pigs. And Hayden even feed the horse, though he wouldn't pet it.




After that we headed home. Though Kevin is now sick and didn't end up going to work. Overall Thanksgiving was very fun and we were very glad we were able to go down to Huntington for it.
